From a thread on MetaFilter, songs in commercials are becoming a phenomenon all their own — Cadillac is even becoming popular with some younger buyers due to their use of a Zepplin song in an ad.
There’re also websites that help people figure out the artists that performed songs heard in commercials. At first, I was happy to discover SongTitle.info as there’s one song from a GMC Yukon commercial that I’m still trying to track down (the commercial featured the hulking beasts driving in choreographed circles, synchronized-swimming style).
SongTitle has an entry for “Our Day Will Come” by Ruby & The Romantics (with a link to a sound sample) for the Yukon. But, after listening, I ruled that one out. I don’t hold it against SongTitle, but I suppose they just don’t have the details for that particular commercial.
Even Volkswagen has a CD of collected songs from its commercials. Some of the more obvious ones — such as Mr. Roboto — are on there, but I may just get it to discover some new techno artists (good techo is just so hard to find these days).
thanks…the Audi commercial I mentioned earlier, I found that the lyrics is from David Bowie, not the rolling stones…its from the song ‘Never Get Old’
the thing is…I got both versions of that song, and neither one has the same guitar tune the commercial had…im after THAT…not to take away from David Bowie but the song is pretty weak IMO…but that guitar tune is so familiar…I still wouldnt count the rolling stones out…
maybe a remix? I dunno…
if anyone can find this I would be grateful…im still trying…
Anyone know that song in the countrytime commercials? Would appreciate it.
Hey yo’all. Uh, don’t mean to cause problems, or promo a site for that purpose, so just remove this post if I’m breaking any rules I don’t know about, and my sincerest apologies if that’s the case.
But, there’s a great resource for music in commercials at http://www.adtunes.com. Their forums are packed with people asking and answering the same questions. I found you guys because someone found an answer to one that had been bugging us over here.
So, anyway, just an informal invite to check it out, hope it helps at all.

Dodger,
The song you’re looking for in the World Wildlife Organization public service conservation ad is called ‘Terrasong’ by ‘Five for Fighting’
ok the song I was looking for from the Audi commercial is in fact ‘Rebel Rebel’ by David Bowie, just in case anyone wanted to know…
Thanx to Schuyler for the site link, it had the song…and for the other recent questions, it wouldnt surprise me if that site didnt have what your looking for as well, it was packed with a lot of commercial song requests in the forum…
Thanx J for helping me with the other, the CD that dog ad’s song is on costs 40+ bucks!!! i think ill stick with the commercial…

To answer the question asked by Amanda regarding the Brazilian jazz song in the Crest White Strips commercial, that song was made especially for that commercial, but the artist is Gabriela Anders. She has a website where you may be able to get more information about that song. This is the web address: http://www.gabrielaanders.com/oldindex.html
there is a six flags commercial with an old man dancing to a really cool techno song…what is the name of the song?
oh yeah and who is the artist
Every one of you should check out this website. It will answer MOST of your questions, such as Pringles comm.=”O Fortuna” http://www.songtitle.info/
People keep asking about a song with the lyrics “He’s so far out he fits right in.” I’ve seen a few of those posted here (I’ve mailed them individually with the answer)so I thought I would take a moment and answer even though I’ve never been to this site before.
The name of the song is BOOM BOX by the Mosquitos. It was used notably in a Bailey’s irish creme commercial, in an episode of The Real World, and most recently on malcolm in the middle when Dewey was making a topiary of cotton candy sculptures.
Boom Box– by the Mosquitos. Get it today. And Astrud Gilberto’s “Stay” and “E eu Voce”. Oh hell, just get anything Astrud sang ever.
Hi I am looking for the artist of the song Neverending Love from the GMC commercial….lyrics are, I have a neverending love for you, from now on thats all im gonna do, from the first time we met I knew……I had a neverending love for you….
Does anyone know the artist and song title from the Geiko commercial with the family driving in the car at night and the dad looks in the rearview mirror to see his daughter and the lizard sleeping? it’s really soft all guitar.
Have a answer to a post and a question of our own. The song names for the commerical for six flags is “We like to Party” by the Vengaboys. Now we would like to know the name and artist of the song feature for the New SAAB, no words, just music. Just send the answer to our email. Thanks

Lonesome Magic Vice Harvest. hope its right.
Greetings,
Would anyone be able to help me identify a commercial song for the new Geiko ad. The one where a man’s driving down a road, sumglasses, punkish hair-style with that lizard also in sunglasses. Sounds sorta bluesy with a tinge of Elvis Presley tossed in?
Any help would be deeply appreciated. ;)
